How about Asus N550 JV ?

lol... first trime i see this reason... very epic... anyway i think is because the text will be clearer when we zoom out to 0.4~0.3?

Yup, best to fit as many rows and columns as possible, so I can see more data.
FHD in 15" screen, 55% zoom level is still acceptable.
For regular 17" 1280 x 1024 monitor, 60%.

Please, me only a simple question.

ILLEGEAR RS-15 LITE or MSI GX70???

Pleaseeeeeee, i really need to choose the best one

You need a gaming laptop with rm5k?
got the same problem with me.

But i already do a lot of research. Then now
My choice is ILLEGEAR RS-15 Lite (rm4,999) vs MSI GX70 (rm4,899)
You can research about both specs.

but now im still need someone to recommend me, which is better.

You are not helping here mate

15" and "easy to carry around" don't come together bro
Therefore I will suggest also suggest 13/14" notebooks for your consideration

* Prices in RRP, negotiable
* use remaining budget to extend warranty to 3 years and also upgrade to SSD (if applicable)
* if you are into some higher end gaming, go for the ones bolded

Illegear is a pretty good choice, especially in terms of bang for buck and also customizability. However, if you are looking for international warranty coverage, then its not suitable for you and will not be recommended.

It appears that the gamers' blood flow through your veins lol, so a true gaming notebook is what you seek

I would recommend going for this one:
15.6"
MSI GE60-2OE, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM4299,8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8, backlit keyboard

*Use your remaining budget to get a 256GB SSD and you are good to go~
*Comes with 2 years international warranty

Assuming you are looking for a sole gaming machine.
If solely between this two, I would pick the Illegear, though with RM5k you are only getting the lowest specs and FreeDOS. But no worries, since you can always upgrade later when you have the budget.

As you are aware, the i7 is really a lot more powerful than the quad core AMD A10. I am not really sure the bottlenecking on the AMD will be that obvious during real-life gameplay.. but personally I trust Nvidia's driver updates more, that alone is enough for me to decide. They are more consistent and stable, meaning that you will get graphic boosts in new, popular games every one in a while

Still, the finaly decision lies with you. The MSI comes with 2 years warranty support as well, which is a plus

15.6"
If you don't mind lower specs, can consider this:
GE60-2OE, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM4299,8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W8, backlit keyboard

or this:
Illegear RE-15, i7-4700MQ + Nvidia GTX765M + (1920x1080)@RM3799[2.6kg][Onkyo, SoundBlaster Cinema], 8GB, 500GB 7200RPM, FreeDOS, [CPU Options: i7-4700MQ - i7-4900MQ]

You will have more remaining budget for serious upgrades, especially for an SSD, which will significantly boost performance. And of course, don't forget about warranty extension, its important for a notebook this expensive.

ILLEGEAR is better bacause you can add a SSD right on the online shop. But for me I think it really depends on ur area. In East Malaysia? maybe ILLEGEAR is not a good choice. In West Malaysia? ILLEGEAR is the one to GEAR UP UR GAMING LIFE!

ok, you a frequent traveller? If you are maybe Asus or MSI is better. Looks like U don't play modern games huh? Simple Graphics card can do the trick so you can save money. No need RM4000. Or get an ultrabook with GT 740M that can be good enough for you. But if u are gamer, everything is nice but for me go for ILLEGEAR, MSI or Lenovo. Asus overpriced

Haha didnt know 15" consider not easy to bring around, will consider 13/14" thx thx

But most of all thx for such a detail reply!!

now boils down to:
13"

i'm quite interested in the 13" Illegear, but as the current lappy im using is a 17" i'm afraid that the screen size is a little too small, does 13 and 14" makes a big diff?

Guys hope this is correct thread...

I need to buy cooler for my laptop (y400 gt750m)

I should buy notepal u2 or notepal u2 plus? And why? I want the best for long term..

I need it ASAP..thx

This is not the correct thread. haha

It doesn't matter whether its U2 or U2 plus (newer) since the cooling mechanisms are similar
Just get the one you like more/ can afford

If you really want better cooling efficiency, clean your notebook fans and heat sinks regularly. And replace thermal paste once in a while.
Can try using in aircon (if applicable). Otherwise blow the notebook with a standing fan at a perpendicular angle whit the base is lifted

13/14" is definitely much smaller than a 17 incher haha XD

Your best bet is to try out the real thing, or any other notebooks with equivalent sizes. Should be fairly easy to find
Personally I think FullHD on a 13" notebook is pretty hard on the eyes, but that is just me. The specs offered by the Illegear is seriously hard to resist, and not to mention that you could always lower the resolution, or connect to an external monitor for better viewing pleasure~

The MS GE40 is also a very unique notebook, 1st of its kind, definitely worth considering as well~
Just need to throw in an SSD and you are good to go
